Many thanks for the plants I received in the post this morning. They were received in excellent condition and I now look forward to an improvement in the weather to help these plants grow. Once again, THANK YOU!!

Do not plant out (without protection) until fear of frost has passed.
Supplied as compost block grown plants.
This Product is Available Now.This variety of aubergine (sometimes known as the eggplant due to its shape) doesn't seem to absorb the oil as much as other varieties, making it even more delicious! Its striking purple-black fruits have a lovely texture and whilst being popular for Mediterranean and Asian cooking are increasingly being used in the UK too. They make a simply yummy moussaka!
Black Beauty produces a heavy crop if grown under protection - but will perform reasonably in a sunny spot outside, sheltered from cold winds.
